Resumen:
It is shown that the recently discovered vacuum holonomy in the pure Abelian Chern-Simons theory in 2+1 dimensions can be interpreted as the expectation value of the holonomy operator of Wilson loops once the theory is defined on a constant time plane. This may be accomplished by a prescription that connects the two- and three-dimensional points of view. The projected holonomy is framing-dependent and coincides with the previous result if a canonical framing is used. A physical model is considered to discuss its physical significance.
